Curriculum tie-ins

Any curriculum area can be chosen (spelling, math, history, geography, etc.).

Hockey Drills

This activity makes any routine learning drill lots of fun! Whether you're reinforcing multiplication tables, division, historical information, geographical facts or spelling-words, try this hockey-based game to get your class fired up to compete in a fun atmosphere. In this activity, the classroom becomes an arena and the teacher becomes the quiz master/referee.

Here's how it works:

Divide the class into two teams. Assign one student on each team to be a goalie. The other students, who are players, are lined up in order with the goalie at the end of the line.

Address a question to the first player on each team. As in any drill, the object is to be the first to answer. If the first student to answer gives an incorrect response, the other team's player is given the opportunity to answer the question. (If neither student answers correctly, the same two players are given another question.) The player who gives the first correct answer may then choose one of the next two players in the other team's line-up to compete against for the next question. Usually, the player will choose a student that he or she feels has weaker skills. This results in more opportunities for the weaker students to be drilled.

As correct answers are given, players continue to choose their next rival, working their way down the other team's line-up. The goalie is the last person at the end of each team's line. If a team's goalie answers correctly, then that team wins the game. If a player on the other team, competing against the goalie, answers correctly, then their team has won. The process begins again, and as many games can be played as time permits. For example, if three games are played, the best of three wins the tournament.

The Great Trivia Challenge

It's time to do some research! Everyone in the class is asked to do some reading about hockey. After researching a hockey fact, each student will construct a trivia question and be asked to make a trivia card using the information they have found. The cards will be pooled to create a class set of trivia cards. Once all the cards are finished, the class will plan a trivia tournament.

Students will be competing for the Trivia Challenge Cup, a trophy that the class will create. This cup will be the students' version of the Stanley Cup and can be a serious-looking trophy or a wacky, imaginative version.

Divide the class into teams. Members of each team can come up with a team name of their choosing. The teams will compete for the Trivia Challenge Cup by answering the trivia questions. Students are not allowed to answer the trivia question that they created. One point is awarded for each correct answer. At the end of the allotted time, the team with the most points wins!

Trivia Challenges can be created on a variety of topics throughout the year and the Trivia Challenge Cup can be awarded each time. You may even want to challenge another class to a Trivia Challenge!

Mass Media Manipulation

Ask students to read the two articles referenced below and observe how the accounts vary, even though the articles are covering the same event.

In a classroom discussion, examine the similarities and differences between the articles. Does the writing reveal anything about the author? Any bias? Have students choose a story of their own and write two different accounts using the same set of facts.

  1. "Pretty Girls Chase the Puck", Ottawa Free Press, February 28, 1908, p. 11

  2. "Ladies at Play", The Ottawa Citizen, February 28, 1908, p. 10

Suggestions for Other Activities

Ask students to interview grandparents, or senior neighbours, about their hockey memories and what hockey meant to them as they were growing up. Have students write a report on their findings.

Ask students to research the history of a piece of hockey equipment, noting how it developed and changed over the years.

Have students watch a hockey game and write a newspaper account of the game.

The Stanley Cup has had an interesting history. It has been stolen, lost and borrowed. It has been banged around, gone for a swim, and has even grown in size over the years. Ask students to research an interesting story concerning the Stanley Cup, write a report and present it to the class.
